We have been given that a freight elevator can safely hold no more than 2000 pound. Weight of elevator operator is 165 pound. Weight of each box is 55 pound.

Let n be number of boxes. We will write an inequality as weight of elevator operator and weight of all boxes should be no more than 2000 pound.

$55*n+165\leq 2000$

Now we will solve our inequality to find number of boxes that could be moved safely at one time.

$55*n\leq 2000-165$

$55*n\leq 1835$

$n\leq \frac{1835}{55}$

$n\leq 33.363636$

Therefore, 33 boxes can be moved safely at one time.
